Versace is bang on trend on his latest Versace Men’s RTW collection, it’s a trip back to the future via the cyberpunk universe depicted in the forthcoming “Tron” sequel.

Donatella Versace said that “We’re going back to the values of the Gianni Versace man from the early Nineties,” “Leather, hardware, chains, metal: He’s very strong.” Indeed, a strong will – and a taut physique – may be required in order to sport several of the pieces from this stick-to-the-ribs collection.

You will witness the models in shield-like eyewear sported stud-mottled motorcycle jackets with patent-leather trousers and gleaming combat boots. Fine knits were toughened up with intricately stitched-on leather and topped with epaulettes for an armored look.

We knew Versace for his undisputed knack with a sexy, futuristic wardrobe, but given today’s risk-averse climate, the brand turned back the clock to a tricky time.
